[@krisgonynor689]

Would a scaled down, lightweight version of the "Squall Tower" work as a wind generator? It would seem to be a much sturdier design in practice to handle storms and such. Maybe even coat the exterior parts with solar electric panels for when the wind isn't blowing? It would rotate at a slower speed but with the greater mass moved by the wind, it could generate lots of power - with the bonus that airplanes, drones and birds could see the structure as it moves and prevent collisions. It would also look nicer and could be placed in more suburban and urban areas - like a giant sculpture dedicated to a green energy future.

[@hidden7249]

they probably would do that too but it just has an insanely high resistance so every inch moved generates a ton

[@tixximmi]

@@hidden7249 Yes but you need a lot of wind to move those tons. And at such a low speed, it can't generate enough electrons.

[@ivangalik7848]

friction resistance to the rotation needs to be equal to wind force otherwise it would not move at all. Once wind overcomes the resistance there is useful energy extractable but i think it is not very good idea to create complicated mechanisms when you can connect the building to nearby offshore windmill farm with cable :). Much better efficiency.

[@tixximmi]

@@ivangalik7848 And that still doesn't work.

[@tixximmi]

@@hidden7249 No that''s not how it works. It works when a magnetic field moves around copper to generate electrons. Do you realize that the amount of copper to surround this building would be 3X the worlds production for a year. And then that magnetic field is moving about 3 inches a minute. That's not going to produce that much electricity at all. And if the wind isn't up to at least a high enough speed the building wont' move at all.

[@teachercliere7159]

The Oppo Infinity Loop is my personal favorite. An upside down trapezoid is virtually never a good idea in building. If you want a diagonal wall, here is the place to be. It makes more sense to place more weight on the bottom and less on the top, similar to a pyramid. There is not only for structural reasons, but also because if the ceiling is larger than the floor, that is a lot of room you can't move in, decorate, and yet have to keep cool. Apart from Gehry, the Oppo building is by far the most exquisite implementation of this concept in the world. Not to mention the number of non-phallic towers. You've seen it before, so you know what it looks like.
